I did the same thing and I k...I know what you mean! I did the same thing and I know better. I have an MA in anthropology. All through college I had to write papers (and a thesis) and cite my sources. In my career, I write reports, and I cite my sources. For some reason (probably excitement as Cindy said), I didn&#39;t always do that when first working on my family tree. It was really embarrassing when my cousin would email me after looking at my tree for something and ask me &quot;Where did you find that? That&#39;s not what I have.&quot; I&#39;d scramble to find a source but usually I wasn&#39;t successful. I&#39;m slowly going back through my tree to correct my wrongs.<br /><br />CatherineCatherine Pendletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04654928883264450088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661536079304030774.post-47788487570732584262012-01-16T07:39:57.907-08:002012-01-16T07:39:57.907-08:00I was the same way.

I guess it&#39;s newbie excitement!<br />I&#39;m slowly retracing those early steps and sourcing everything, so it&#39;s a lesson learned! Who knows, with fresh eyes we may be picking up info we missed the first time!<br />Good Luck!cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441072080681127762noreply@blogger.com
